About Michelle Perks (Hall)

Hey Sista! I’m Michelle, and I’m so glad you’re here!

As a pelvic health physiotherapist, I’ve spent over 20 years helping women overcome the challenges of bladder and bowel concerns, incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction, pregnancy aches and postnatal recovery. 

I know pelvic health can be intimidating to talk about. I see PhysioSista as a safe space where women can share their story and take the first steps toward living life, like they want it to be. Nothing makes me happier than helping women achieve their personal best—whatever that looks like for you.

My mission is simple: to support you in feeling stronger, more confident, and in control of your health.

Whether you’re returning to exercise, recovering after surgery, or navigating menopause, I’m here to guide you with expert care, encouragement, and compassion.

When I’m not working, you can find me enjoying a beach walk with my black lab, Penny, exploring Australia’s beautiful coastline (though nothing beats the nostalgia of a childhood in Esperance!), and indulging in a good book, art or sewing my own clothes. I have dabbled in CrossFit and functional fitness, and yes, I’m always tuned into a podcast—usually about pelvic health because there’s always more to learn!
